Also those who will buy them necessarily. this was great i took it too florida and it withstand 20 hrs with no problems back and forth. I like that they are still flexible. So, imagine my surprise when I discovered, barely 6 weeks after receiving these sandals, that the soles are already falling apart! To further protect the sandal, extra care was taken by packing them in a dust proof shoe bag; which, could come in very handy if you have to pack them for travel. Not returning these, but not buying another pair. If you squeeze them- you could feel your fingers touching! But with a little glue i was able to fix it. We live in a small cape cod that has a small living room, so we didnt want to load it up with too much furniture, but with never using the front door, no one ever has a good place to put their shoes, purses, coats, hats, etc. I use my waist trainer 1-2 times a week.
